Nobody has joined.  AAG40+0.1 seems to be what people are trying.  I’d start another of this new one after Christmas, as I have 2 that are just starting now.

@jim010:

He will lobby?  So he does not have a hand in deciding this?

From what I understand, Larry is the creative mind behind AA but it is WOTC that puts up the money and capital to print and distribute the game. He is essentially contracted by WOTC (or otherwise sells his idea) and they take it and run with it.

Obviously he has significant influence on the final product but because he doesnt own the company that’s making all the profit he doesn’t make the final call.

I’m sure if Larry had his way we would have paper money… and maybe some variation of Alpha.

@billinjackson:

Sorry not on the lingo but what are these purchases?1 CV, 1 SS, 1 AP

Thanks

cv=aircraft carrier
ss=submarine
ap=transport I believe, that is an odd one

It’s not that odd.  Un-armed naval ships are generally called Auxilary ______.  AP stands for Auxiliary - Personnel (or passenger), I believe.

@jim010:

Krieghund,

The rules say:

The original controller of the capital is still in the game but can’t collect income from any territories he or she still controls and can’t buy new units.

It doesn’t mention bonus $.  Can bonus $ still be collected?

Calvinhobbesliker is correct.

@WILD:

Whats the ruling on your other NB/AB if you lose your capital. I see you noted can’t repair your own ships (skip that phase), but will your other NB’s still repair your allies ships? Also do you and your allies still get the +1 movement from your other AB & NB, if you have lost your capital.

My thought is that your AB/NB in other tt are still 100% functional as long as they are not damaged (you won’t be able to fix them). They still get +1 as far as movement (for all powers on your side), and can still repair allied ships (yours can’t be repaired as noted above),

Your thought is correct.

1)  It’s just the first one.

2)  Just the one.  There are no “neutral countries”.  Each neutral territory is independent.

I have it, but am holding onto it for further playtesting on the set-ups.

Europe is being slightly changed in terms of the map, and there will be some minor additions to the rules.  These changes will probably be part of the map/rule package I am looking into producing.  Pacific would be released this way as well if all falls together.

Cheers

Just got e-mailed on the revised pieces, so I’m good there, but still on the hunt for the xeno colours

Yes.

@Lozmoid:

I’m not 100% sure about how Kamikaze attacks prevent shore bombardment during amphibious assaults. Can anyone please explain with perhaps an example? The manual merely states:

“A Kamiaze attack prevents a bombardment supporting an amphibious assault.”

This is extremely brief and, I believe, needs further clarification. I know that Japan may use her full quota of up to 6 Kamikaze attacks (even all against the same enemy surface warship) in the one battle, if she desires. Is it true that ONE Kamikaze attack prevents ALL Battleships and Crusiers from bombarding, or is it done on a 1 for 1 basis? By that I mean does each single Kamikaze only prevent 1 ship from bombarding? Say there are 3 bombarding ships and Japan can make 2 kamikaze strikes - are 2 of the bombardments cancelled whilst the 3rd may go ahead?

Also, I saw this question & answer come up at one point in the FAQ thread:

Q. Does a single Kamikaze attack stop shore bombardment, or must there be at least one conventional unit involved (surface warship or scrambled plane)?
A. A kamikaze alone will prevent shore bombardment.

Does the answer here relate to my paragraph above, in that one kamikaze prevents ALL shore bombardment? I would really appreciate a clarification on how this all works, thank you.

Either ALL bombardment occurs (no naval battle) or NO bombardment occurs.  “A” bombardment does not refer to a single ship, but the entire group of ships firing their single round.

A single Kamikaze plane causes a naval battle in that seazone.  A naval battle eliminates the possibility of shore bombardment from that seazone.  period.

Yeah that would be hilarious to screw your teammates cause one forgot to bring beer over, which means as playing as the US I would buy infantry and anti aircraft guns to protect Alaska and my crab fishing grounds.

At the very beginning of the Conduct Combat phase, before combat is begun.  For all practical purposes, when you said.

I do remember Jack saying something about a new release for the summer.I emailed concerning V2s in the 3 color reinforcement package.I hope its a go.I have all 5 sets.They are great additions to the game(s).I love the WW1 tanks,modern apcs(they work for most
M113 types),and the 1/2 track.I remember in an old interview of his how disappointed he was with the  ships.They are kinda lame,about like Eagle’s types.

OK, looks like I can now type in the e-mailaddress properly.

It is:

Cheers
